Metadata providers grayed out

Hi & thanks for looking.

PROBLEM:
I have recently installed dbPoweramp onto a new win10 pc and have gotten everything working, except the metadata providers; Discogs, GD3, MusicBrains & freedb. They are not highlighted in the dBpoweramp CD Ripper: Manual Meta Review dialog. (Aside I do own GD3, however, I do not know where it's link should be.)

I do believe that freedb might be working, because I am able to download metadata automatically, although, it will not allow me to directly access it via the dialog I just mentioned or search other sites if freedb doesn't have metadata fo an album.

I've gone into Windows Defender to allow dBpoweramp to pass through the firewall. Unfortunately in the "Allowed Apps" dialog there are several executable apps in Program Files > dBpoweramp folder. Which App/File Name do I use? Or, am I barking up the wrong tree? I've searched the forum, however, haven't come up with an answer to get me access to the metadata sites.

Note: if this info regarding metadata sites is on your website, please refer to it so I can proceed, OR, if anyone can guide me through this process I'd be much obliged.

Re: Metadata providers grayed out

1. I've just purchased $$$ the Reference Version, however, when I am on the screen (...CD Ripper: Manual Meta Review) the metadata providers are still blanked out/unusable. See next item.

2. I use the ...CD Ripper: Manual Meta Review page to insert the data, however, I am finding that the Manual Meta Review page/screen view fills up the PC screen thus severely limiting one from cutting & pasting data from other sources easily. Since the page is 80% blank white, unlike other Windows software, I am unable to drag a corner to make the page smaller. What is the point for having such a large blank area??? It's non productive.

BTW, the first 3- CD Box Set I ripped, following my purchase, had no metadata in any of the metadata sources provided in ...Ripper. I realize this is not your fault, however, by not being able download the metadata, I ran into the problem of getting enough screen space to manually copy in the metadata.

Please advise?? Is there any way to solve these problems in the program??? Thanks for your insights.
